Well, I applied this tweak to my kernel config file (some time ago!) and
it fixed the racoon issue.... **BUT** doing this badly breaks dtom() - all
sorts of issues turn up when a data pointer can't be turned back into its
owning mbuf pointer.

This explains all of the mis-aligned mbuf frees that turn up and panic the
system.

In fact, I can't really explain *why* dtom() actually works, but that's the
content of my other posting....
